A while ago I bought an incredibly cheap PL2303 USB serial cable; this should
be ideal. It would appear that making it work ought to be just a matter of
snipping off the Nokia plug and soldering on a stereo jack. Unfortunately, I
never got round to doing it and now, er, I've lost it.

(The PL2303 is a USB-to-TTL-serial chip. It's designed to be plugged into a
MAX232 to produce line level serial, which, of course, the E3 doesn't need.
The big advantage here is that it's powered straight off the USB bus and
doesn't use up a PC serial port.)
